Magnets are capable of attracting certain metals, primarily ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt, due to their unique atomic structure that allows for the alignment of magnetic domains. The strength of the attraction depends on the type of metal, its magnetic properties, and the strength of the magnet itself. Non-ferromagnetic metals such as aluminum and copper do not exhibit this attraction under normal conditions. Thus, the ability of a magnet to attract metals is not universal and is limited to specific materials.
